| Hi Dave: Just reading the trip report about the McAdam run. Looks like it was a good trip. I decided last Wednesday to take a run of my own that I've been thinking about for a while. Left Freddy Friday morning and arrived in South Boston, VA for the Heacock Classic Gold Cup Historic Races at Virginia International Raceway Saturday about noon Saturday. I met up with a friend who ia crew chief of an MGB in vintage racing team and spent a day and a half at VIR. Even got to do a couple of fairly hot "parade laps" in an MGB v8. http://www.virclub.com/2009-events A lot of interesting and rare cars here. Took lots of photos. I'm attaching a few that I've reduced in size; not sure if you have high speed. Note the ones captioned Super Dave! I'm in Durham, NC now for the next few days. Post some of the pics if you like Dave but thought I'd share them with you......the yellow Morgan and the AeroMax especially (it's for sale if you want it.........I'll be in their shop Wednesday and can drive it home for you. :~) take care Phil .jpg) |
...and this followup note from Phil:
I spent this morning in a combination machine shop and British and European car repair/restoration shop in Danville, VA. Walking into the repair side is enough to give a car guy heart palpitations and cause him to drool! Everything here from a Subeam Imp, Arnolt-Bristol, various Lotus 7s and Elans, a Bentley, one off factory early seventies Mercedes Benz with AMG 8 liter v8, a BMW 507 that will be in the one million $$ range when finished, a Jag C Type, a Porche Speedster, several Minis, Lotus and Cooper race cars, an early 70s Ford Escort rally car that was driven to a world championshipa 1947 MG TC barn find in need of complete restoration and even several motorcycles.
I'll see if I can send some pics later. Trying to stay out of the Nort Carolina heat and humidity for a while!
